No more beer pong

The University of Florida is considering banning drinking games and beer kegs on its campus and in fraternity and sorority houses, according to an Associated Press story this morning.

The new rules, printed in a revised student code of conduct, still have to be approved by the school’s board of trustees.

But it’s an interesting story considering UF’s recent ranking of Number One party school in the nation by the Princeton Review.

And it raises the question of whether alcohol should be permitted at all on campuses.

Florida Atlantic University experienced a shooting in April during a campus party where alcohol was present.

But current FAU policy is already a little ahead of the curve. It says that while students over the age of 21 may have beer and wine in their dorm rooms, beer kegs, party balls, funnels, drinking games and hard liquors are not permitted in or around university housing, residence halls or apartments.

Other FAU alcohol rules include

regulations stating that beer may not be served by the pitcher at parties or events, and no flyers posted on campus can mention whether beer or wine is being served.
